U-D gets one in the truck for '09

The University of Detroit has landed a nice long-term prospect with the commitment of 6-foot-9 John Hoskins. Hoskins played at Warren Connor Creek West, a Class D school, last year, but played with Detroit Cody this summer. What you like about Hoskins is that he's tall, long and can shoot. He has post moves and, unlike a lot of young big guys, wants the ball, but he doesn't have the girth to always get in good position to receive it. Strength and toughness will have to be there for the college level, but you can say that about a lot of kids.
